Bergenin of Peltophorum dubium (Fabaceae) Roots and Its Bioactive Semi-Syntheti...

This work describes the isolation of pure bergenin from Peltophorum dubium roots with good yields and its further derivatization through Williamson synthesis. The alkyl derivatives of the bergenin were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry data analysis. Among them, three derivatives were reported for the first time herein, 8,10-dihexyl-bergenin, 8,10-didecyl-bergenin, and 8,10-ditetrad...

CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF BIOLOGICAL ACTIVE EXTRACTS OF Tapirira guianensis (ANAC...

This work describes the chemical composition of MeOH seeds and flowers extracts of Tapirira guianensis, a known tree that occurs in the Brazilian Atlantic forest. The CH2Cl2 soluble fraction of seeds extract was submitted to chromatographic procedures to obtain a mixture of new alkenyl dihydrobenzofuranoids which were identified as 2-[(10’Z)-dodec-10’-enyl]-dihydro-1-benzofuran-5-ol, 2-[(10’Z)-tridec-10’-enyl]-...

NEW ALKYL PHENOLS AND FATTY ACID PROFILE FROM OILS OF PULPED Spondias mombin L....

Spondias mombin L. is a Brazilian tree belonging to the family Anacardiaceae and popularly known as “cajá”, the genus is well known by the various exotic fruit species such as “siriguela” (S. purpurea), “umbu” (S. tuberosa) and “umbu-cajá” (S. bahiensis). It presents commercial importance to the locals especially due the small juice fruit industries and the seeds are often discarded as waste after pulping. Desp...

Influence of growth regulators on distribution of trichomes and the production ...

ABSTRACT The profile of volatile organic compounds, the glandular and non-glandular trichomes of Plectranthus ornatus, obtained by in vitro cultivation, was evaluated in plants grown in Murashide and Skoog medium supplemented with benylaminopurine at 4.5, 9.0, and 18.0 µM + naphthaleneacetic acid at 5.37 µM, kinetin at 4.7, 9.3 and 18.5 µM + naphthaleneacetic acid (5.37 µM) or Murashide and Skoog 0 medium (as a...

Rosmarinic and Cinnamic Acid Derivatives of in vitro Tissue Culture of Plectran...

This work describes the tissue culture of Plectranthus ornatus Codd. (Lamiaceae) on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) (1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 mg L-1) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) (1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 mg L-1) as growth regulators to obtain the overproduction of rosmarinic acid. The content of rosmarinic acid and its biosynthetic precursors were determined by high performance liquid chrom...

COMPOSIÇÃO QUÍMICA DAS CASCAS DAS RAÍZES E FLORES DEPoincianella pyramidalis (F...

Chemical investigation of the MeOH extract of root barks of P. pyramidallis (Tul.) L. P. Queiroz resulted in the isolation of 3,3'-dimethylellagic acid and 3,3'-dimethylellagic acid-4'-O-β-D-xyloside. Lupeol, β-sitosterol/stigmasterol and the mixture of fatty acid methyl ester derivatives were also obtained. Chromatographic procedures of the MeOH extract of the flowers of this species led to obtain an unusual m...

Determination of Phenolic Acids and Quercetin in Brazilian Red Wines from Vale ...

This work describes a method for the determination of gallic, caffeic and p-coumaric acids, as well as quercetin, in Brazilian red wines by employing reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP HPLC) coupled to diode array and mass detectors. The method was performed using a sample volume of 10 µL. The limits of detections were 0.36, 0.27, 0.33 and 0.59 mg L-1 for gallic acid, caffeic acid, p-couma...

DISTRIBUIÇÃO, ATIVIDADE BIOLÓGICA, SÍNTESE E MÉTODOS DE PURIFICAÇÃO DE PODOFILO...

Podophyllotoxin is the most studied lignan because of its use as an antimitotic agent and because it is a precursor of pharmacologically active derivatives. This review describes the anticancer activities of podophyllotoxin and the different processes that have been developed for its extraction and purification from Podophyllum spp. In addition, the synthesis routes of this compound and the development of three...

Review of the genus Ipomoea: traditional uses, chemistry and biological activities

Approximately 600-700 species of Ipomoea, Convolvulaceae, are found throughout tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Several of those species have been used as ornamental plants, food, medicines or in religious ritual. The present work reviews the traditional uses, chemistry and biological activities of Ipomoea species and illustrates the potential of the genus as a source of therapeutic agents. These ...
